Read in one day!!! Just like “Five Years” it sucked me in from page 1! Such a sweet book about love,grief,moving on and finding yourself. Makes me want to visit Italy so bad!!

One of my favorite parts was how I felt like I was really in Italy. The author transported me here. This book was about grief and self discovery.
I felt like there was definitely some mystery and then you figure out that there is some weird time / alternate reality thing going on so I didn't really know what to expect. It sorta keeps you on your toes but has a beautiful bitter sweet ending
I'm not sure what Adam played a part in the story... we could've done without him honestly. But, it was beautiful and a bit predictable but very enjoyable and definitely transports you there. I just wanna go to Italy now...

What did I just read? Is it dual timelines? Time travel? A fever dream? Does the cheating count in this weird vortex?? I'm so lost.

This is the book that I wish I had read directly after losing my own mother. It would have saved me hours of searching for answers.

A sweet love letter to the bond between a mother and daughter. I enjoyed it and now I know I definitely need to visit Positano.

This isn’t a book I would’ve normally picked up, but it was my book club read this week. Honestly, it was cute! Once I got about 3/4 or the way through, I really started enjoying it. It wasn’t bad up to that point or anything, it’s just women’s fiction usually isn’t my cup of tea. The ending really made it for me though, I appreciate magical realism and the time twist was top notch writing for me. I loved getting to know young Carol, and I think Katy did too.
